Country House Painting Alarms

Country house picture hangs often go floor to ceiling. Xtra-Sense painting alarms protect individual works without touching frames or historic walls.

Xtra-Sense Painting Alarms protect wall hung objects such as pictures, paintings and framed works. The detector does not need to be attached to the painting, so there is no drilling into frames, no adhesive on the back and nothing to upset a conservator. Lift the work off the wall and the alarm sounds.

Historic houses and heritage properties put collections on show in the rooms they were made for. Glass cases are usually out of the question and drilling into fabric or furniture is a non-starter.

Because the system works 24 hours a day, it protects objects during opening hours, exactly when most intruder alarms are switched off. There are no moving parts to wear out, it is tamper proof and maintenance is limited to changing a battery or checking the power supply.

Xtra-Sense Ltd designs and manufactures its security and safety products in Honiton, Devon, and has been solving awkward security problems since 2000. Call 01404 43366 or email security@xtra-sense.co.uk to talk it through.
